Football News : Neymar on his comments that Qatar will be his last World Cup

In an interview released this Tuesday, Neymar tried to clarify a comment he made in a documentary about him, where he said that next year's World Cup in Qatar could be the last of his career. He said that it's a line of thought he has, where "if I had to play tomorrow, I would face it as if it was my last game of my life. If this World Cup is near, I am thinking of it as if it would be my last one, because I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow". Neymar has so far played at two World Cups. In 2014, he picked up a back injury in the quarterfinals against Colombia, which stopped him from playing in the shocking 7-1 semifinal loss to Germany. In the most recent edition of the tournament, Neymar had just returned from a serious foot injury and turned in an unimpressive performance in Brazil's 2-1 quarterfinals defeat to Belgium. He left Russia 2018 amid heavy criticism for his apparently exaggerated reaction to being fouled. Neymar won the 2013 Confederations Cup title with Brazil, and also won the gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. He was injured before the 2019 Copa America, which Brazil won at home.
